The small Marienkapelle, which houses a spring that is said to heal eye ailments, was built on a wooded slope above the Salzach. The Via Nova pilgrimage route leads almost directly past the church, which is well worth seeing and is located directly opposite Raitenhaslach Monastery. There are several benches around the chapel, inviting you to take a rest.

Approximately two kilometers south of Maria Ach, in the middle of the forest, lies the "Heilbründl", one of two Brünnl chapels in Hochburg-Ach. Directly below the chapel, a contained spring emerges. Inside the chapel, there is a statue of the Virgin Mary from 1963. According to legend, the robber knight Meier Helmbrecht, after being "blinded" (which means his eyes were burned out), came here to alleviate his pain.
